Common core courses

The common core contains courses common to all programs and contains two general engineering oriented courses being compulsory for all students. These courses are Profile Orientation and Academic skills and Systems Engineering.

The common core further contains 9 fundamental courses introducing all students to the breadth of EE and CE. Of these 9 fundamentals, all students must select two courses.

Common core courses are fundamental and general in nature, and should be attractive to a relevant fraction of the students in multiple tracks.
These courses are programmed in the first quarter of the academic year. Typically, they have three parts. These are (1) an introductory part that might be seen as a quick repeat of the expected prerequisite knowledge of incoming students (or as a quick introduction if some knowledge is still missing), (2) the main body, and (3) a part that makes a specific connection to the different tracks in the program. This last part may actually be track-specific.

Compulsory  common core courses
EE4C01 Profile Orientation and Academic Skills
EE4C11 System Engineering
EE4C03 Statistical Digital Signal Processing and Modeling. 

Instead of the course EE4C04 Control System Design, students can also choose the course SC42015 Control Theory. It is not possible to include both courses on the ISP.
